Make sure the text is easy to read and try look at some modern examples. If you're goingn to use scan lines make the transparency really low. I personally don't like that font but that's just personal opinion.

Your'e doing well.

thanks ...yes i realised that the text especially smaller was harder to read! lol thanks for the input

You are doing well you want to consider that although the white may be very visble up top it might not work so well on the bottom if your using a gradient. Im not a fan of the font but that can always be changed. Essentially work on the text.

thanks

What font is "more info" ?

the font is called albas super i got it from dafont.com

yeah the only negative is the smaller font to the left - the text is too small to be fancy. Everythin else is great

I can't read the top navigation!

Are you looking at the wrong design? There is no navigation on a banner.
